To James Cameron -STOP dissing WW: You poor soul. Perhaps you do not understand the character. I most certainly do. Like all women–we are more than the sum of our parts. Your thuggish jabs at a brilliant director, Patty Jenkins, are ill advised. This movie was spot on. Gal Gadot was great. I know, Mr. Cameron–I have embodied this character for more than 40 years. So–STOP IT.

Isn’t it more disrespectful to women to praise something they did, just because a woman did it regardless of its quality ? I mean granted I a man, but I’m a huge fan of WW and that movie was…meh at best.
Has Patty Jenkins ever read a Wonder Woman comics or even opened a history book?! Since when are Zeus and Hares father and son ? And with all the women actor in the world you couldn’t find some who could actually act ,to be Amazons?! Not that we see much of them anyways…. And let’s not talk about that “Kamehameha” at the end, or that time when, if not for a mere mortal, an indestructible warrior goddess would have been pinned down by German bullets in the middle of the forest, unable to make a move……. And don’t get me started on the horrendous CGI at times , shoddy acting, terrible writing….
I didn’t think the movie was as great as media hypes/hyped it. I thought it was good – not great. Maybe I didn’t “understand the character” because I’m a man ??
I don’t understand why people hate the movie so much…I really enjoyed it and I’m not really that into “superhero movies”,
Perhaps Aliens was a better movie but that doesn’t mean Cameron wasn’t being a jerk and going out of bounds by attacking a director just so he can virtue signal to the Left before his latest round of crap gets released.
It wasnt that special, and no it wasnt that big a deal for women. Other far better movies have been lead by women before, indeed Aliens is a far superior movie and Ripley is a much better role model than Diana Prince.
Agreed. Diana, after all, was led by men… Duh.
What would women do without you to tell them what was a big deal for them?
